Whether this is your first or forty seventh convention, you still need to plan your days and we hope this will help you.
The Timetable has been released and there is something for everyone. We wish we had clones of ourselves so we could do it all. But for us single bodied lifeforms, we have to choose.
Here is a little guide of what we think are going to be the unmissable events:
TIP: Follow us on Twitter and keep an eye on our homepage for updates. We'll be at Excel early in the morning so will inform you of queue times (Sounds … Continue Reading ››
What The Spock shall I wear?
For us, this week will be like watching Data watching a kettle boil. If we had an internal chronometer, we'd turn it off. If we had a Delorean, we'd be 88mph into Friday.
We talk a lot about costuming (or cosplaying for the trendy greeks). But if it's not your thing, don't dispair. There will be lots of people in 'civilians'.
However as we have mentioned in some of our previous post such as Trek Fashion Beams Down To London and Colour Blocking Federation Style there are many highstreet stores that are selling garments 'in the style' of Star Trek. So if you want to wear something 'inbetween', these items make good tributes to Trek Style. We're sure Garak would approve. For the Ladies:
TNG and Me
Sci-fi blogs, websites and magazines are a buzz talking about Star Trek The Next Generations 25th Anniversary.
As many of our readers know, we grew up on TNG and would like to share our journey with the Next Generation.
By Sam.
I don't remember the first time I watched TNG just the challenge of tricking my parents into letting me.
Because I don't remember how old I was when this happened I googled the UK air date and am surprised to find it was 1990.
Once I was tucked in bed I would stay awake and listen really hard to the TV. As soon as I heard the theme music I would jump out of bed, run downstairs and announce my bellyache, bad dream, boogie man or some other made up ailment that meant I had to watch TV and be tended … Continue Reading ›› Live Chat
On Friday 8th October 20:00 GMT (UTC+0) We will be here on the Trekkie Girls home page doing our first live video chat!
What will we talk about? We only have a couple of 'planned' themes, including some of our readers Shat Up Lines (see video on Treks and The City).
See you this Friday at 20.00. Bring some Romulan Ale!
Qa'pla!

Con Crazy!
Here at Trekkie Girls HQ we have been busier than the Borg collective, preparing for Destination Star Trek London that is hurtling towards us at lightspeed.
As we mentioned earlier we were privileged to be asked if we would blog live from the event.
We spoke to one of the organisers yesterday and they confirmed the rumour that over 12,000 tickets have been sold!!
Thats 12,000 + Trekkies! Our people, all in one place!
If that isn't overwhelming enough, all 20 VIP tickets have been sold! We reckon the Grand Nagus organising this event is throwing his/her latinum in the air.
We have it on good authority that the show guide with the timetables will be realised really soon and merchandise will be available on www.startreklondon.com before the event.
We are feeling pretty broke having spent all our pennies on … Continue Reading ››
Where ever you go…There Trek is.
Being a Trekkie is full time. There is no break from it. Why would anyone want one?
So even when we are on holiday, we see Star Trek all around us.
Sam was recently invited onto the TrekMate 24 hour podcast where she and Marc talked about the episode 'Captains Holiday'. Sam recalled her holiday to America last month;
I hadn't read a hardback book in a decade but I bought a big black one so I could slap it shut with one hand Picard-style whenever I was rudely interrupted. However in reality I was grateful everytime a poolboy offered me a refreshing beverage and secretly disappointed no one offered me Jamaharon.
Everything was better when I spotted Wesley Drive though.
We have recently returned from the South of France … Continue Reading ››
